Veteran's Day

Many years ago on the Armed Forces radio network in Europe, the programming director sent a note to his assistant to do some special programming for Veteran's Day, so the staff could take the day off.
Half way through Veteran's Day the program director turned on the radio to see how things sounded, but was horrified to hear graphic talk on Venereal Disease!
It turns out the note he gave to his assistant told him to do "V.D. Programming."

U.N. Double Standard

The Usual Nitwits are showing their butts again. There is some kind of civil war going on in the African Nation Ivory Coast.
Some rebel forces attacked and killed some French Soldiers. France retaliated by launching an air strike and destroying the Ivory Coast Air Force, which consisted of about 3 aircraft.
Why didn't the U.N. condemn France?
Hmm....something fishy.
I think France has the right to do that, I just thought the silence from the Usual Nitwits was unusual.

Dummy

One of my co-workers found a wallet in the parking lot and took it home instead of turning it in. His mom called him in to our boss. Now he's facing termination.
Big dummy.

Football Observation

I am watching the Monday Night Game in Indianapolis, and something just came to mind.
The Hoosier Dome is just that, a dome.
Somebody tell me why in the hell there is a blimp overhead for the game?

Stupidity never ceases to amaze me

This happens alot, but never ceases to amaze me.
Some dummy looks at the ATM thing, looks moronically confused, then asks the dickhead question: "How do I pay with cash?"
I tell them "Open your wallet/purse, insert hand, pull out money."
Stupidity should be painful.

Ask Me No Questions....

....and I tell you no lies. Or something like that.
Anyway I was returning from a lunch break when my ex girlfriend, who recently dyed her hair jet black, asked me what I thought of it.
So I told her:

"It covers up the gray hair."
:P

DOH!

Today one of the brighter employees we have was moving some freight in the deli, and snagged the fire switch.
At least it works. Just made a mess though.

It sucks to be Michael Moore

He spent how much money to make that stupid ass movie?
He donated how much to defeat Bush?
Dickhead.
Here is my tribute to MM:

Science Not-So-Fiction

When linked up to an F-22 jet flight simulator, the brain and the simulator established a two-way connection similar to how neurons receive and interpret signals from each other to control our bodies.

Gradually the brain learnt to control the flight of the plane based on the information it received about flight conditions.

Freaky!

Brothels

I guess we're famous now. This story was on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
My county voted on whether or not to repeal a 30 year old law that allowed brothels in our county.
It was defeated by a 2 to 1 margin. I was surprised by the result, since there are no operating brothels in the county.
(In other words, the brothels will stay.)

Sad End

There was this regular customer that I knew. He came in regularly, usually with a friend.
Last week sometime he was talking to his son on the phone when he stated he was not feeling well.
His son asked if he needed help, he said no. At some point the son became alarmed enough to suggest calling the paramedics.
For some reason, this man had it in his head that they were coming to take him away to an institution.
So, he shot himself.
He was 101 years old.

Not again :(

Somebody I knew died yesterday morning. I didn't know until just now. She was way too young, and had some health problems. By all accounts, it was a miracle she lived as long as she did.
Damn :(

The Waiting is the Hardest Part

I hate sitting here with my finger up my nose waiting for the election results. Too bad we can't have quicker results.

Butt Dragging

I am so damn tired that I should have butt scabs from dragging it. I wonder what the hell is wrong with me.
